I have been looking for a clean 1992 Camaro Z28 Convertible for a few months now and finally found one in nice shape.

Question is: The car is Purple Haze with Tan Interior and Black Top.

Are there any production numbers on total number of convertibles per model per color?

i wish i could find a list like that...as far as i know, no there is not...but someone might chime in and tell me otherwise

 

pm 90RS305, he might be able to help you... there were 1,254 Z28 convertibles made in 1992, and purple haze was not one of the popular colors, blue/white/black were the main ones, probably pretty rare

 

GM didn't track the color options the cars left with factory with. All we get are the build numbers with engine/drivetrain info.

Sorry.

 

Post a pic. Would love to see it. I have a Teal green 92 Z/28 'vert with beige top and interior. The beige top really looks neat since few Camaro 'verts had them. Funny they would limit the beige color on the Camaros but not the Firebirds.

 

Hylton,

Beautiful ride. Teal is very common the the RS' but I rarely see a Z28 in that color. Very nice! I am trying to attach a picture of the one I am picking up.

Scott

 

That is a sweet ride! Very few Purple Haze 'vert Z/28's out there. I have only seen one other one.

 

Thanks Hylton,

This is the first one I have seen. I have seen 2 purple haze z28 hardtops but no convertibles in person or in pictures. Do you remember the interior color on the one you saw?

Scott

 

Ya, it was black leather with the silver anniversary stripes on it.

 

Now that sounds super rare.

 

Incidently Scott, Chevrolet produced 8,588 Camaros in Purple Haze. Unfortunately there is no further breakdown since this consisted of RS coupes, 'verts and Z/28 coupes and 'verts.

You can do a very unofficial stat by dividing 8,588 into the number of Camaros produced in that year and then multiplying that percentage value by the amount of Z/28 'verts built in '92:

8588 / 70007 = 12%

1254 * 0.12 = 150.5

Roughly 150 Purple Haze '92 'vert Z/28's are out there!

 

hey i didn't even think about trying that calculation to figure that out! interesting! apparently i would have one of SUPPOSEDLY 350 Ultra Blue convertible Z28s


and by the way, i'm really jealous of both of you! i'm LOVING the teal/tan top Z28, and i've never seen a Purple Haze Z28 convertible before. i want one! haha good job to both of you for those sweet rides. not very common at all to have those colors for that specific model!

 

Let's face it, any 3rd gen 'vert Z/28 is uncommon. Just wait 10 years from now!

 

for sure. the '91 and '92 Z28 convertibles are by far the sexiest models i've seen in my opinion

both of you need to send me more pictures of your cars. i'm gonna make a collection of these cars when i'm older and can afford more cars

 

i love my 91 Vert!! lol, too bad i have like 1/2000 lol, i think 1/3 of the 91 RS verts were black, even though ive only seen one other black vert ever.... hmmm...

 

to bad im selling my 1992 look at the cars for sale

 

god i'd love to have that 92 purple haze vert to match my 92 purple haze rs hardtop.. that would have been killer.

 

Hey Scott, post up some high-res photos of that Purple vert when you pick it up

 

I sure will!

 

Definately, I wanna see all angles of that thing! Congrats on your buy man! beautiful from what i can tell.

Wow. I know what I'm doing to my 'vert once I get the money. Repaint factory teal and go all Tan. I wonder how hard it is to completely swap out the grey interior for Tan?

 

Most of the stuff should be easy enough to find at a scrap yard. The hard part will be finding the rear interior pieces in beige. The original material is still available so you can just get yours recovered.
